The Spinal Manual

The Spinal Manual has been developed in partnership with staff from the The Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit to help those coming to terms with a spinal injury with common problems. If you have questions regarding the Spinal Manual it is best to address them to members of staff at the The Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit.

The Spinal Nurse Specialists provide life long follow up, care, support and advice to all patients who go home from the Spinal Unit who have suffered a spinal cord injury with some degree of spinal cord damage.Role of the Spinal Nurse Specialists

For many people, using transport or being able to drive after a spinal cord injury can be a daunting thought. However, the freedom of a car is more of an essential than a luxury for most wheelchair users.Information about Driving

Spinal Injuries Scotland (Registered Charity: SC015405) is the national voluntary organisation concerned with new and long-term spinal cord injured people, their relatives and friends, along with those involved in the management, care and rehabilitation of the injury.
SIS provides support through the office based Information Service and operates a self-referral information line. We also provide a legal and welfare rights advisory service. Our representatives, who are able to discuss all aspects of living with a spinal cord injury, undertake regular visits to the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit.
In addition we liaise with other similar voluntary and professional organisations so that the issues surrounding spinal cord injury are recognised and understood.
